The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of converting the duration of an I.Sc. Physics practical period from minutes to microcenturies, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Conversion Factor We know that: 1 microcentury = \(10^{-6} \times 100\) years. ### Step 2: Convert Microcentury to Minutes First, we need to convert microcenturies into minutes. We start by converting years to minutes: - 1 year = 365 days - 1 day = 24 hours - 1 hour = 60 minutes So, the total number of minutes in one year is: \[ \text{Minutes in 1 year} = 365 \times 24 \times 60 \] ### Step 3: Calculate Minutes in 1 Microcentury Now, we can find out how many minutes are in 1 microcentury: \[ 1 \text{ microcentury} = 10^{-6} \times 100 \text{ years} = 10^{-6} \times 100 \times (365 \times 24 \times 60) \text{ minutes} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Value of 1 Microcentury in Minutes Calculating the number of minutes in 1 microcentury: \[ 1 \text{ microcentury} = 10^{-6} \times 100 \times 365 \times 24 \times 60 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 1 \text{ microcentury} \approx 5.256 \text{ minutes} \] ### Step 5: Convert 100 Minutes to Microcenturies Now, to convert 100 minutes into microcenturies, we can use the conversion we just derived: \[ \text{Microcenturies in 100 minutes} = \frac{100 \text{ minutes}}{5.256 \text{ minutes/microcentury}} \approx 19.0 \text{ microcenturies} \] ### Step 6: Calculate Sleep Duration in Microcenturies Now, if you slept for 6 hours yesterday, we need to convert that into minutes: \[ \text{Sleep in minutes} = 6 \text{ hours} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} = 360 \text{ minutes} \] ### Step 7: Convert Sleep Duration to Microcenturies Using the same conversion factor: \[ \text{Microcenturies in 360 minutes} = \frac{360 \text{ minutes}}{5.256 \text{ minutes/microcentury}} \approx 68.4 \text{ microcenturies} \] ### Final Answers 1. The duration of the I.Sc. Physics practical period is approximately **19.0 microcenturies**. 2. If you slept for 6 hours yesterday, that would be approximately **68.4 microcenturies**. ---
